Raka grinned. "Let's play a game of ' Genjot Kayak Gini'!"
The short‐form video “HUNTC‑155 Kakak Terlihat Bahagia Ketika di Genjot Kayak Gini” (uploaded on the INDO18 channel) has amassed millions of views within weeks of its release, sparking a wave of commentary on sibling dynamics, affective labor, and the aesthetics of “genjot” (playful teasing) in Indonesian digital culture. This paper offers a multi‑dimensional analysis of the clip, situating it within the broader contexts of (1) contemporary Indonesian family representations on social media, (2) the performative economy of “viral joy,” and (3‑) the semiotics of body language and sound that convey happiness in a culturally specific manner. Drawing on media studies, cultural anthropology, and affect theory, the study argues that the video functions simultaneously as an affective commodity, a site of intergenerational negotiation, and a micro‑political affirmation of normative family values in the post‑COVID‑19 era.
